The beautifully cast gilt bronze frame of this exceptional table mirror perfectly captures the refined elegance of the 19th Century French Empire style.
Questions about this piece?
The mirror takes the shape of an arch and is set inside a rectangular form gilt bronze frame with an arched cornice. The mirror is supported below the frame by caryatids, or winged female figures, above which there is a rectangular plaque at the centre of the lower part of the frame. The base of the frame is also mounted with gilt bronze fleurs-de-lys which extend out from the sides of the frame.
There are two, individually framed arch-shaped panels of the mirror: the inside arch is framed with a female figure at each side and is joined to the outside arch by draped ribbon form swags and oval-shaped plaques above. The cornice of the mirror is centred with another oval-shaped plaque, with scrolling foliage around it. The mirror is supported at the reverse by a gilt bronze arm which is hinged at the top.
Superbly crafted with a stunning ormolu frame, this mirror would be an eye-catching yet elegant addition to one’s interior space.
